Do your homework.

I just ordered a set of Rubi springs for the rear to try and bring it back up.

I would recommend the spacer on the front. I'm buying some Rubi rear coils now to compensate.

For those of you that are having a problem: Are you using HD springs? I have a RC 2.5 BB and was just talking to David at Northridge. He suggested I put the teraflex 3 inch springs on to fix my problem of the front end sagging about an inch. Also, my front bumper and winch are an extra 233 pounds on the front of the jeep. Obviously, it will compress the teraflex springs as well. My stock springs are hurting, looked at them and they are really compressed.

Got the OME 615 coils from Northridge. They lifted the front up an inch over where it was sitting. Now the front is only .5 lower than the rear, even with the 233 lb bumper and winch combo. Looks perfect!

front down rake is good for fuel economy why get rid of it
it also keeps the vehicle optimally balanced for driving down the highway
for handling and steering response
front down is better than front up
fix that rake and put 5 people in and a full tank with say 100lbs in rear for weight and see how she sits then uhm front up?
god luck but a level vehicle isn't the best thing.
